He was allegedly employed as a sales<\/p>\n<p>executive getting an income of Rs.10,000\/- per mensum . He<\/p>\n<p>suffered displaced fracture of the coccyx. He was an in-patient<\/p>\n<p>for a period of four days. He had allegedly suffered permanent<\/p>\n<p>physical disability. A medical board which examined him issued<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A5 disability certificate to show that he was suffering<\/p>\n<p>physical disability to the tune of 15%. &#8220;Pain tip of the back, back<\/p>\n<p>pain, inability to sit due to pain, inability to lie flat due to low<\/p>\n<p>back pain, inability to squat and climb stairs&#8221; is the alleged<\/p>\n<p>disability. Tenderness at the sacral area and tip of the coccyx<\/p>\n<p>were also found.       Spinal movement was restricted by 60%.<\/p>\n<p>These are reported in Ext.A6 disability certificate.<\/p>\n<p>     2.    The claimant examined himself as PW1 and his<\/p>\n<p>employer as PW2. Exts.A1 to A6 were marked. No doctor was<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.A.C.A.No.749\/05                2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>examined to prove Ext.A6.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.   The Tribunal, on an anxious consideration of all the<\/p>\n<p>relevant inputs, came to the conclusion that the appellant is<\/p>\n<p>entitled for an amount of Rs.55,500\/- as compensation as per the<\/p>\n<p>details shown below:\n<\/p>\n<pre>      1.   Transport to hospital          Rs.500\/-\n\n      2.   Loss of earnings               Rs.9,000\/-\n           (Rs.3,000 x 3)\n\n      3.   Bystander's expenditure        Rs.500\/-\n\n      4.   Extra nourishment              Rs.500\/-\n\n      5.   Pain and suffering             Rs.10,000\/-\n\n      6.   Loss of earning capacity       Rs.10,000\/- (global)\n\n      7.   Loss of amenities of life      Rs.15,000\/-\n\n      8.   Future discomfort              Rs.10,000\/-\n\n                     Total                Rs.55,500\/-\n\n      Accordingly,  the   Tribunal   awarded   an   amount    of\n\nRs.55,500\/- as compensation.\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>      4.   The appellant claims to be aggrieved by the impugned<\/p>\n<p>award. Called upon to explain the nature of challenge which the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the appellant wants to mount against the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.A.C.A.No.749\/05                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>impugned award, the learned counsel for the appellant submits<\/p>\n<p>that loss of earning capacity has not been assessed correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The multiplier-multiplicand method must have been employed.<\/p>\n<p>The Tribunal has awarded only a global amount of Rs.10,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p>In these circumstances, the amount awarded under the head of<\/p>\n<p>loss of earning capacity consequent to disability suffered<\/p>\n<p>warrants interference, it is submitted.     The appellant has a<\/p>\n<p>further grievance that the multiplicand is not correctly reckoned.<\/p>\n<p>Only an amount of Rs.3,000\/- was reckoned as income. The same<\/p>\n<p>is inadequate, it is contended.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.   The Tribunal took note of the evidence available about<\/p>\n<p>the income of the appellant. We do note that initially it was<\/p>\n<p>asserted that the appellant is a sales executive. In the disability<\/p>\n<p>certificate he is described as an office worker.       The salary<\/p>\n<p>certificate showed that his income was only Rs.6,000\/-.       The<\/p>\n<p>tribunal, in these circumstances, was not prepared to swallow<\/p>\n<p>the materials placed before the court and drew a reasonable<\/p>\n<p>inference of prudence that notwithstanding the inadequacy in<\/p>\n<p>evidence, an amount of Rs.3,000\/- per mensum can be reckoned<\/p>\n<p>as monthly earnings. In the state of evidence and materials<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.A.C.A.No.749\/05                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>available, we are not persuaded to agree that the said decision<\/p>\n<p>warrants interference.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6.   The multiplier-multiplicand method was not adopted<\/p>\n<p>by the tribunal. But from the compensation awarded under the<\/p>\n<p>head of loss of amenities, loss of earning capacity and loss of<\/p>\n<p>discomfiture &#8211; a total amount of Rs.35,000\/-, it appears to be<\/p>\n<p>evident that the tribunal was satisfied that the appellant has<\/p>\n<p>suffered physical disability as a result of the accident.      The<\/p>\n<p>problem was one of not correctly quantifying the percentage of<\/p>\n<p>such physical disability. The tribunal must have taken note of<\/p>\n<p>the nature of injuries including fracture of the coccyx as also the<\/p>\n<p>details available in the disability certificate.   Of course, the<\/p>\n<p>appellant is to be blamed for not adducing better and authentic<\/p>\n<p>evidence to prove the contents of the disability certificate to the<\/p>\n<p>satisfaction of the court. But all the same, we are not persuaded<\/p>\n<p>to agree that this is a fit case where the Tribunal must have<\/p>\n<p>come to a reasonable conclusion about the inevitable and<\/p>\n<p>irreducible percentage of physical disability and consequent<\/p>\n<p>reduction in earning capapcity. In the circumstances of the case,<\/p>\n<p>we are persuaded to agree that such disability on the basis of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.A.C.A.No.749\/05               5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ext.A5 as also the other details can safely be fixed at 8%.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the appellant must be held to be entitled for a<\/p>\n<p>total amount of Rs.37,440\/- (Rs.3,000\/- x 12 x 13 x 8\/100).<\/p>\n<p>Deducting an amount of Rs.10,000\/- which has already been<\/p>\n<p>awarded under the head of loss of earning capacity, the<\/p>\n<p>appellant is found entitled to a further amount of Rs.27,440\/-.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge in this appeal succeeds to the above extent only.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n     7.    In the result,\n\n     a)    This M.A.C.A is allowed in part.\n\n     b)    It is found that the appellant is entitled to a further\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>amount of Rs.27,440\/- (Rupees twenty seven thousand four<\/p>\n<p>hundred and forty only) in addition to the amounts already<\/p>\n<p>awarded by the Tribunal. Interest shall be payable on the entire<\/p>\n<p>amount at the rates already directed by the tribunal from the<\/p>\n<p>date of the petition.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                           (R.BASANT, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>                                    (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE)<br \/>\njsr<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.A.C.A.No.749\/05    6<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">M.A.C.A.No.749\/05    7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>R.BASANT &amp;C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                 .No. of 200<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        ORDER\/JUDGMENT<\/p>\n<p>                 06\/02\/2009<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Abraham vs Rajesh on 19 February, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM MACA.No. 749 of 2005() 1.
